Like 8), these are denarii communes (DC) valuations of 16 and 12, which given a nummus of 25 DC makes them approximately 2/3 and 1/2 nummus respectively. The radiate bust on the 2/3 nummus might also be serving as a value &quot;warning&quot; given that it was close in size to the nummus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a Rome nummus of same date and these fractions for size comparison. Note that the official size is the pearl ring diameter (PRD), i.e. the diameter of the beaded border, which was controlled on the die, vs the flan size which varies.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1460289[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
